Lagar and Rhymus Cleroux]

Best Duo Award

Awarded in January and July to the two players who have shown the highest levels of cooperation.

There are a few 'couples' and not just the conventional kind, prior to Kyle leaving for Katra, he and Lisa were up for this, as well as Lahr and Ruth (shoo in!! ) Lek and Helga (who are now together on Discovery) plus Ian and Jess (the latter two couples don't qualify unfortunately as Helga and Jess are NPCs) but unconventional 'couples' not necessarily romantic ones like the way Lahr and Lagar play off one another.

Shran'Lahr ch'Verret and Lagar

Aaaaand....

Ruth Sigurdsdottir and Shran'Lahr ch'Verret

Rib Tickler Award

Awarded in January and July to the player with the most humorous posts.

I've had to give 2, I can't nominate myself and it's not the 'done thing' to nominate the CO either but I'm doing these awards this time so he gets one too!!

Shran'Lahr ch'Verret and Ian Galloway

Extra Contribution

Captain's Personal Merit Award

Lagar

Executive Officer's Personal Merit Award

I just want to say in my time as XO here, there are several people who could easily have got this award...like most of the crew.  My friend, my 'mate' (IC-ly) and person who I always can rely on in any situation on and off site is Lahr/Sinthija... for which I'm grateful... but that might smack of favouritism... so I've been looking elsewhere.  Jettis for stepping into my CSO shoes and doing such a sterling job, Lisa for her dedication to the medical department despite planning a wedding OOC, Lagar who really has been an outstanding member of the crew from the get go, both as his main and taking on NPC-ing Koroz so perfectly... I'm spoilt for choice.  It was very hard to decide, but I eventually fixed on ....

Jettis Jyur

Crew Choice Award

Jettis Jyur

On the recount, this was pretty conclusive!!

Outstanding Commitment Award

These are awarded in January and July to players who are always online and posting regularly in missions.

Jettis Jyur, and Lagar

Contribution Award

This is awarded in January and July to players who make contributions outside of missions. These could include submitting mission ideas and helping new members settle in.

Lisa Belmont

Vaughan Outstanding Contribution Award

Awarded in January and July to players who make outstanding continued contributions outside of missions. These could include assisting the commanding officer with important tasks or temporarily taking on command officer responsibilities. The Contribution Award must be earned before this award.

Shran'Lahr ch'Verret

(it was a close run thing between Lahr, Lagar and Jettis.  However there is a stipulation that the Commitment Award is achieved prior to gaining THIS award...so something to work towards for the January awards!!)

Thank You!

Once again... congratulations. Awards have been assigned. If you don't see your ribbon, or I've missed one, please give me a nudge....after I'm back from LOA!!  The ones I have will be up just as soon as I get logged onto the admin side of the site and work thru them!!

Congratulations, everybody! And thanks for your hard work on this Ruth, during your LOA!

I cheated a bit... I'd already done a huge amount of formatting when I had a stint as CO of of the Challie so ... pinched that and edited... still a fair amount of typing but I guess this wonderful if somewhat motley crew is worth every second.  Can't wait to be back at it tomorrow!!
